BMW POSTERS

Ejay's Miles poster prompts me to go to my BMW file, I've been collecting Bob memorabilia since the 70's, these are just a few of them. I've photographed Bob images on walls in JA, US, UK and in Africa plus I'm always on the lookout for books and DVD's. Some of these I know the origins of, others were collected along the way, the first one I don't recall where I got it from but #2&3 were posters done by friends, I've had them both framed and on the wall, the two color images, the first is an oil painting and the second a print and the unframed canvas oil painting is about 4ft square and is over my bed, it was painted by a friend and he designed the next one also, it's a poster for one of my photo exhibitions, the panel down the center is the same as the message on the oil painting, the statement by Sellassie which Bob used for 'War'. The next is an official proclamation honoring Bob for his music by the city of LA and the stamps were a set issued in Jamaica whilst I was there in '81, I mailed several sets to myself and also bought a sheet of each value.
The last one is from another collection but I like it well enough to include it here, it's from a collection of African political posters and was issued whilst we were in Zambia to honor the ANC.
The images are large enough that if you click on them they should expand enough to read the text.
I've got many more images of reggae related posters and so perhaps I'll post them to my Picasa site, there's lots of friends in LA who would enjoy seeing them since many relate to events there.

WHO WANTS TO PLAY RADIO DJ?

OK, Here's the deal; the phone rings, it's from the local radio station, they found you through this blog [actually Blimpy sold 'em your phone number but don't tell him I told you] The reason they're calling is because their regular DJ has to leave his shift early and they need someone to fill a 30 - 40 minute slot and all their regulars all have prior commitments. They say that you will have total freedom to play anything you wish, so, if you accept, what would you play?
For us at the Spill, produce a playlist and present it with either Deezer or Podbean so that we can play it as a 30-40 minute clip, ideally a click on the first tune will then play through the entire set.
I just made up a very varied set of my favourites but on reviewing it I decided I'd rather do a straight reggae set, there may be some who think they don't like reggae but I'd urge them to play this selection, I think it's quite different from what I usually hear on radio. If we ever redo this I'll go back to the 'my favorite things' theme.
OK, Here's my set, it runs 38 min 09, that'll give me a couple of minutes to announce 'em. Anybody else want to play?
